“The court sustained appellant's objection because the question of the district attorney about spending some time in jail for the charge of assault was improper. Appellant did not request the court to instruct the jury to disregard the question and the court did all that the appellant requested.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In reviewing the denial of a motion for a new trial 'based on an objection to the weight of the evidence,' this Court 'will only disturb a verdict when it is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence that to allow it to stand would sanction an unconscionable injustice.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The testimony of a single witness, whose testimony is not unreasonable and whose credibility is not successfully impeached, will sustain a conviction although there may be more than one witness testifying in opposition thereto.”
